North Dakota's historic sites will finally have toilets that flush
The bandleader's childhood family home marks the latest step in the State Historical Society of North Dakota's nearly completed goal of installing flush toilets at its dozen most popular, staffed sites. The most recent success, with the final three planned to be completed soon, came before the unveiling of a statue of Welk at a site that draws fans who recall 'The Lawrence Welk Show,' which ran on TV for decades starting in the 1950s.

Singer Tamar Braxton says she ‘almost died' in weekend accident
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton said Tuesday that she 'almost died' in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember. 'I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,' Braxton wrote in an Instagram post. 'I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility.' She added, 'I don't even know what happened to me.' Braxton, 48, earlier in the day had posted 'Thank you God for waking me up today,' in an Instagram story. She said she was getting calls after and was struggling to talk so she shared what had happened to her. The post also said 'the way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend my mental journey begins… pray for me for real.' An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered. Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton, who went on to a major solo career. They and other family members appeared on the reality series 'Braxton Family Values' starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows. As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series 'Kingdom Business.' And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.

Create Account WWE Women's World Champion Naomi is doing it for a great reason, though. She announced on this week's Monday Night Raw that she will be vacating her title because she's expecting a child with fellow wrestler Jimmy Uso, her husband. The segment was done as a preview for an appearance on Stephanie McMahon's What's Your Story? podcast. Naomi had been slated to fight Iyo Sky on Aug. 11 for the title, but the bout was scrapped because Naomi was not medically cleared, according to USA Today . 'I'm pregnant and I'm having a baby,' Naomi said on Raw . RECOMMENDED VIDEO Naomi, whose real name Trinity Fatu, is already a stepmother to Uso's two children from a previous relationship. She had been the champion for 35 days, her second reign as champion. This isn't the first time something like this has happened in the WWE world. In May 2020, an emotional Becky Lynch gave up her belt, telling Money in the Bank winner Asuka that she was the new Raw Women's Champion because Lynch was pregnant. A stunned Asuka took a few moments to process what she was being told. The clip is a bit bizarre because it came early in the COVID-19 pandemic in front of an empty arena instead of fans, but continues to be popular on social media.
